So I see the announcement that Thunderbird 78 will have built-in OpenPGP support in summer 2020. However, Enigmail stopped working in Thunderbird 68.4.2 so I'm wondering what those of us who use Enigmail are supposed to do between now and summer 2020?

Thank you. That does indeed work. However, let me express surprise that using Tools > Add-ons and then update did not install that version. That's what had always worked so well in the past, so I didn't even go looking for a website with a newer version.
